One Brocante, pistolet and chips (for English speaking people)


You get to Brussels from the South and you see it rains. People apologizes for the temperature, bad weather, because they think Spaniards live in a permanent heat. The sunglasses are not necessary. The city exudes chocolate, chips, mussels not vary large. Flea markets or markets where you can find whatever we throw away at home. They are smart and recover the investment.
A city of beautiful architecture, preserving by  law the homes of a certain age as a privileged and unrecoverable benefit. They like to live well, good life, drink good wine, waiting in restaurants patiently between starter and  main courses. They  care for animals, drink beer and hate making some noise.
A country with serious problems between the Flemish and Francophone which boasts great ability to reach consensus. Apparently people come from around the world to know how they do it, learn to live, adapt and find a position that fits many. 
Maybe people of central and northeast Spain should shop around. Finding a meeting point, not seek confrontation and rupture, the drama. Maybe we can learn to keep quiet.
It also has the patisserie , sweet and tasted desserts. And chocolate, which is good to compensate for the lack of light which creates  a little bit depressed people.
I know a young man who went to a nursery in Brussels with thirteen months, he did not speak, he did not say mom or dad.
Shortly he said his first word: chocolat , and then the second encore . That is he wanted more chocolate. I guess it would be a lovely announcement of any Belgian chocolate brand.
Meanwhile Brussels is presented as the capital of Europe. Europe running in the rear of international politic, which does not give the precise steps to match the XXI century. It's a great business to be the capital of Europe, there are hundreds and hundreds of meetings , eating, sleeping, traveling, mussels are consumed with french fries and beer near the Grande Place . Though no one is willing to pay the price that requires a united Europe, losing all those things we like so much. A city of civil servants and foreigners in an European frenzy.
